JAKARTA - Vice President Gibran Rakabuming Raka wore a cassowary crown and a typical Papua noken shoulder bag when he arrived in Nabire, Central Papua, while starting a working visit in Papua.
Upon arrival at Douw Aturure Nabire Airport, he and his entourage from Jakarta, including Coordinating Minister for Political and Security Affairs Djamari Chaniago and Deputy Minister of Home Affairs Ribka Haluk, were greeted by Central Papua Governor Meki Fritz Nawipa.
The Vice President then greeted the governor and his staff before reviewing the Douw Aturure Airport which had been revitalized since 2025. He also saw the waiting room and the area inside the airport after receiving an explanation regarding the revitalization process.
A number of passengers who were at the location took the opportunity to shake hands and take photos with the Vice President.
Based on the information collected, the Vice President's working visit to Nabire will continue to Timika, Sorong to Raja Ampat, West Papua.
